To create a new Job, go to Jobs menu and click on the Add New Job button. The generic part of configuration is the same for any type of automated Job:
Job Name
The display name of the job serves solely to help easily identify the job. It does not have any other functionality. If it is an automated job designed to pull test result files from a central SFTP server every week, it could be named "Gather test reports from central server (weekly)" for easy identification.
Select Job Type
The type of the Job to create. It is a selection of predefined, Managed File Transfer supported Jobs which can be configured for automation. To see the list of available Job Types go to this page: Available Job Types
The advanced configuration options depend on the type of Job selected.
Job Status
A deactivated Job is not being scheduled. It can still be configured, but will never be executed even when triggered manually. It is useful to have a Job deactivated until the configuration is finalized or in case it should be paused for a period of time.
Scheduling
Repetition of automated Jobs can be configured in multiple ways depending of the use case of how and when the Job should be executed.
** Periodical Scheduling ** This mode makes it possible to configure a repetition frequency in minutes. Switching Job schedule to periodic will make the Job execute every time the configured time has passed.
** In Configured Times ** This mode allows you to specify the exact times and days of the week when the job should be executed. You can set multiple time points on different days to enable detailed customization and precise scheduling.
Advanced Configuration
Advanced configuration options depend on the Job type selected in the basic configuration. To read more about the different types of Jobs, follow the Available Job Types page.
